You could see the war room lean forward. Logan Jones at the 122nd overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.
Reaching for Heinecke left real value on the table behind him. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
Chris Bell in the Round 2 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Daylen Everette at the 79th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Taking Logan Jones in pick 122 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Bobby Jamison-Travis in slot 215 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Value said wait; Owen Heinecke in pick No. 231 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
